WAYS TO SUPPORT THE LIBRARY

The Memphis Library Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, was established in 1994, chartered as the Foundation for the Library. Its mission is to enhance the 18 Memphis Public Libraries by securing funding through grants and private support. Join with our libraries and make a contribution today to continue their life-changing work. Donate here today.
Did you know the Friends of the Library supports Memphis Public Libraries by volunteering their time, raising money, advocating for the library, and sponsoring programs?
